European plan on internet of things regulations

The DLA Piper Internet of Things Group are presenting a series of one hour webinars. The Internet of Things will dramatically change business and business models. We will also be including industry experts in many of the webinars.

It's simple: The webinars are free and you can access the webinar presentations through your computer, phone or tablet via WebEx.

DLA Piper's Internet of Things group is pleased to offer materials from our March 6 webinar.

The European Commission published a communication announcing its plan to build a "European Data Economy." This plan includes not only the upcoming European General Data Protection Regulation, which will have a massive impact on data flows, but also setting up new rules for the Internet of Things, such as:

The removal of unjustified restrictions to the free movement of data

The introduction of rules for access to and transmission to IoT data generated by Industry 4.0 machines or processes

The amendment of rules for product liability and data portability and interoperability

Ongoing consultation on such rules will end on April 26, 2017. Given the probable business impact these rules may pose for any company operating in the European Union, decision makers must be aware of this proposal and should consider contributing to the consultation to identify better solutions for the Internet of Things.
